JGennett Posted March 11, 2002 Share Posted March 11, 2002 The cabinets of my KG 5.5's are deteriorating rapidly!! One has been repaired for a failed glue joint already. Seams are visible down one side of one cabinet, showing that panel to be constructed of 3 panels joined together. The top, bottom and side panels appear to be made of plywood or some other laminate besides MDF. (??) Based on this, does it make more sense to repair or to rebuild? If I rebuild: -Should the cabinets be built entirely of 3/4" MDF? -Will extra bracing change the frequency response or characteristics of the speaker? -The cabinets are quite resonant. Is this part of the design, or will the speakers benefit from a more rigid and acoustically inert cabinet? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
T2K Posted March 12, 2002 Share Posted March 12, 2002 You should ask those same questions of Klipsch Tech Support @ 1-800-KLIPSCH. Keith Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest BobG Posted March 12, 2002 Share Posted March 12, 2002 The 5.5 is made of 3/4" MDF with veneer laminated to both sides. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
